S07E12 Quilt Racks

Norm makes a visit to Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, to delve into the historical practice of utilizing blanket frames or racks. This journey leads to the creation of elegant presentations for cherished quilts, as Norm adapts designs inspired by both Victorian and Shaker aesthetics. The ornate mahogany Victorian rack showcases a gracefully arched top and elegantly turned legs, while its more minimalist pine version features straightforward braces and a sturdy trestle base.
